Yeah that's really bad news, and I suppose this would mean that the people who would have hoped and relied on MAID expansion to include them (those whose sole underlying condition is mental illness) would then be subjected to further disappointment and suffering. There may even be some who then otherwise wouldn't have taken DIY measures to end up actually going through with their DIY attempts, resulting in varying outcomes: some successful but brutal and causing collateral damage, others not successful and yet causing collateral damage and further suffering. That would be the unfortunate consequence of those who are denied MAID just because their sole condition is mental illness. This also means that my idea of immigrating to Canada in order to benefit from such a policy is no longer viable.
